Two IDF reservists killed in Gaza as drone they operated explodes
–
Neutral summary
Two Israeli reservists were killed in the Gaza Strip when a military drone they were operating crashed and exploded as they approached it, the Israel Defense Forces said on Friday. The soldiers, who served in the 16th Infantry Brigade, were evacuated to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, where they were pronounced dead. The incident occurred on Thursday in northern Gaza. Brig.-Gen. Elad Tzuri, commander of the 99th Division, said the soldiers went to inspect the crash site when the drone exploded. The army is investigating whether Hamas used electromagnetic interference to bring the drone down. IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir has established an expert team led by a Ground Forces brigadier-general to investigate the accident and prevent a recurrence. All small drone flights have been grounded pending the investigation.
